The formulations can beprepared according to procedures that are conventional in theagricultural chemical art.

The present disclosure contemplates all vehicles by which one or more ofthe compounds may be formulated for delivery and use as a fungicide.Typically, formulations are applied as aqueous suspensions or emulsions.Such suspensions or emulsions may be produced from water-soluble, watersuspendable, or emulsifiable formulations which are solids, usuallyknown as wettable powders; or liquids, usually known as emulsifiableconcentrates, aqueous suspensions, or suspension concentrates. As willbe readily appreciated, any material to which these compounds may beadded may be used, provided it yields the desired utility withoutsignificant interference with the activity of these compounds asantifungal agents.

Wettable powders, which may be compacted to form water dispersiblegranules, comprise an intimate mixture of one or more of the compoundsof Formula I, an inert carrier and surfactants. The concentration of thecompound in the wettable powder may be from about 10 percent to about 90percent by weight based on the total weight of the wettable powder, morepreferably about 25 weight percent to about 75 weight percent. In thepreparation of wettable powder formulations, the compounds may becompounded with any finely divided solid, such as prophyllite, talc,chalk, gypsum, Fuller's earth, bentonite, attapulgite, starch, casein,gluten, montmorillonite clays, diatomaceous earths, purified silicatesor the like. In such operations, the finely divided carrier andsurfactants are typically blended with the compound(s) and milled.

Emulsifiable concentrates of the compounds of Formula I may comprise aconvenient concentration, such as from about 10 weight percent to about50 weight percent of the compound, in a suitable liquid, based on thetotal weight of the concentrate. The compounds may be dissolved in aninert carrier, which is either a water miscible solvent or a mixture ofwater-immiscible organic solvents, and emulsifiers. The concentrates maybe diluted with water and oil to form spray mixtures in the form ofoil-in-water emulsions. Useful organic solvents include aromatics,especially the high-boiling naphthalenic and olefinic portions ofpetroleum such as heavy aromatic naphtha. Other organic solvents mayalso be used, for example, terpenic solvents, including rosinderivatives, aliphatic ketones, such as cyclohexanone, and complexalcohols, such as 2-ethoxyethanol.

Emulsifiers which may be advantageously employed herein may be readilydetermined by those skilled in the art and include various nonionic,anionic, cationic and amphoteric emulsifiers, or a blend of two or moreemulsifiers. Examples of nonionic emulsifiers useful in preparing theemulsifiable concentrates include the polyalkylene glycol ethers andcondensation products of alkyl and aryl phenols, aliphatic alcohols,aliphatic amines or fatty acids with ethylene oxide, propylene oxidessuch as the ethoxylated alkyl phenols and carboxylic esters solubilizedwith the polyol or polyoxyalkylene. Cationic emulsifiers includequaternary ammonium compounds and fatty amine salts. Anionic emulsifiersinclude the oil-soluble salts (e.g., calcium) of alkylaryl sulphonicacids, oil soluble salts or sulfated polyglycol ethers and appropriatesalts of phosphated polyglycol ether.

Representative organic liquids which may be employed in preparing theemulsifiable concentrates of the compounds of the present invention arethe aromatic liquids such as xylene, propyl benzene fractions; or mixednaphthalene fractions, mineral oils, substituted aromatic organicliquids such as dioctyl phthalate; kerosene; dialkyl amides of variousfatty acids, particularly the dimethyl amides of fatty glycols andglycol derivatives such as the n-butyl ether, ethyl ether or methylether of diethylene glycol, and the methyl ether of triethylene glycoland the like. Mixtures of two or more organic liquids may also beemployed in the preparation of the emulsifiable concentrate. Organicliquids include xylene, and propyl benzene fractions, with xylene beingmost preferred in some cases. Surface-active dispersing agents aretypically employed in liquid formulations and in an amount of from 0.1to 20 percent by weight based on the combined weight of the dispersingagent with one or more of the compounds. The formulations can alsocontain other compatible additives, for example, plant growth regulatorsand other biologically active compounds used in agriculture.

Aqueous suspensions comprise suspensions of one or more water-insolublecompounds of Formula I, dispersed in an aqueous vehicle at aconcentration in the range from about 5 to about 50 weight percent,based on the total weight of the aqueous suspension. Suspensions areprepared by finely grinding one or more of the compounds, and vigorouslymixing the ground material into a vehicle comprised of water andsurfactants chosen from the same types discussed above. Othercomponents, such as inorganic salts and synthetic or natural gums, mayalso be added to increase the density and viscosity of the aqueousvehicle.

The compounds of Formula I can also be applied as granular formulations,which are particularly useful for applications to the soil. Granularformulations generally contain from about 0.5 to about 10 weightpercent, based on the total weight of the granular formulation of thecompound(s), dispersed in an inert carrier which consists entirely or inlarge part of coarsely divided inert material such as attapulgite,bentonite, diatomite, clay or a similar inexpensive substance. Suchformulations are usually prepared by dissolving the compounds in asuitable solvent and applying it to a granular carrier which has beenpreformed to the appropriate particle size, in the range of from about0.5 to about 3 mm. A suitable solvent is a solvent in which the compoundis substantially or completely soluble. Such formulations may also beprepared by making a dough or paste of the carrier and the compound andsolvent, and crushing and drying to obtain the desired granularparticle.

Another embodiment of the present disclosure is a method for the controlor prevention of fungal attack. This method comprises applying to thesoil, plant, roots, foliage, seed or locus of the fungus, or to a locusin which the infestation is to be prevented (for example applying tocereal or grape plants), a fungicidal effective amount of one or more ofthe compounds of Formula I. The compounds are suitable for treatment ofvarious plants at fungicidal levels, while exhibiting low phytotoxicity.The compounds may be useful both in a protectant and/or an eradicantfashion.

The compounds have been found to have significant fungicidal effectparticularly for agricultural use. Many of the compounds areparticularly effective for use with agricultural crops and horticulturalplants.

It will be understood by those in the art that the efficacy of thecompound for the foregoing fungi establishes the general utility of thecompounds as fungicides.

The compounds have broad ranges of activity against fungal pathogens.Exemplary pathogens may include, but are not limited to, wheat leafblotch (Septoria tritici, also known as Mycosphaerella graminicola),apple scab (Venturia inaequalis), and Cercospora leaf spots of sugarbeets (Cercospora beticola), peanuts (Cercospora arachidicola andCercosporidium personatum) and other crops, and black sigatoka ofbananas (Mycosphaerella fujiensis). The exact amount of the activematerial to be applied is dependent not only on the specific activematerial being applied, but also on the particular action desired, thefungal species to be controlled, and the stage of growth thereof, aswell as the part of the plant or other product to be contacted with thecompound. Thus, all the compounds, and formulations containing the same,may not be equally effective at similar concentrations or against thesame fungal species.

The compounds are effective in use with plants in a disease-inhibitingand phytologically acceptable amount. The term “disease inhibiting andphytologically acceptable amount” refers to an amount of a compound thatkills or inhibits the plant disease for which control is desired, but isnot significantly toxic to the plant. This amount will generally be fromabout 0.1 to about 1000 ppm (parts per million), with 1 to 500 ppm beingpreferred. The exact concentration of compound required varies with thefungal disease to be controlled, the type of formulation employed, themethod of application, the particular plant species, climate conditions,and the like. A suitable application rate is typically in the range fromabout 0.10 to about 4 pounds/acre (about 0.01 to 0.45 grams per squaremeter, g/m²).

Any range or desired value given herein may be extended or alteredwithout losing the effects sought, as is apparent to the skilled personfor an understanding of the teachings herein.

The compounds of Formula I may be made using well-known chemicalprocedures. Intermediates not specifically mentioned in this disclosureare either commercially available, may be made by routes disclosed inthe chemical literature, or may be readily synthesized from commercialstarting materials utilizing standard procedures.

The following examples are presented to illustrate the various aspectsof the compounds of the present disclosure and should not be construedas limitations to the claims.
